The game has been described as a full fledged action game for the franchise.
The protagonist is, as we suspected, Makoto's sister, Naegi Komaru. Also, the article seems to imply that Makoto, Hajime and even Monokuma (real one I guess) won't be present in the game.

We probably will need the actual famitsu scans to figure more about the game and DR3 as well.

^We'll probably have to wait until more info comes around first, but I think SDR2 spoiler talk will be fine since this game seems to be an "interequel" of sorts, anyway. Plus, the last prequel story we had (Zero) literally features the first game's endgame villain right on the first page, so this game probably won't pull any punches in that regard, either.....

Pretty sure it's the latter. I mean, didn't the trailer even show Fukawa (in her Syo personality anyway) as a playable character? She still would've been locked inside Hope's Peak if Another Episode took place during the first game's events.

-Komaru attacks with a speaker phone, using "word bullet" (kotodama) similar to the first two games. Bullet types includes "destroy", "dance", and "move"
-More horror than shooter feel
-Genocider Sho (Fukawa) playable

If they keep the same CV for Komaru, then Miyukichi will have 2(+1) roles

I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up, but I would be surprised if they are the same person.

Another concerning matter is the title of the game Zettai Zetusbou Shojo= Absolute Despair Girl and we know how absolute her despair was. I'm probably overthinking things but we can't deny the possibility.

I'm just wondering what's up with her new bangs (no longer straight), lower eyelashes, and new ahoge. I get the time that's passed could've changed her appearance, but it just seems odd to suddenly acquire an ahoge.

Syo also seems to have acquired an ahoge with her new look.

Spoiler for not sure if I need to mark this, but..:

I also worry for that pose, especially when you can see the legs are also the same in the bigger photo. But then again, her arm's the opposite, so it's sort of 'mirrored' instead.

Anyway, since we now know that Another Episode takes place between the two core games, I guess I'll be the first one to bring up SDR2 spoilers here:

Spoiler for SDR2 Endgame:

I actually think it would be very interesting (and just plain cool) if this game's bosses were the Despair-infected SDR2 cast. Like maybe this game would tell the story of how they were all subdued and taken to Jabberwock Island for their "rehabilitation". Still, I guess that also leaves the question of whether or not Komaru became part of the Future Foundation (and she doesn't seem to be someone with a SHSL talent, so....
